What is the Torah?

The word "Torah" is often used in the Hebrewlaw. Now we will try to understand what it means. Torah from a technical point of view - "Pentateuch". The Torah presented in writing is a kind of a code of laws of life for the Jewish people.

Let's try to understand more about what the Torah is. Definitions are such (they all refer to religious topics):

1. Moses' five books;
2. Commandments and laws from God, which form a separate part of the Mosaic five-book;
3. Parent teaching or teaching;
4. Written Law and the Oral Law, given by God to men and transmitted through revelations to Moses on Mount Sinai;
5. The totality of the Jewish law.

The Torah is presented in the form of a book in whichcontains separate commandments, the commandments of God or a set of laws. It is believed that the text of the Torah was written from the words of the Most High, and Moses wrote it. Some disagree with this assumption and believe that the book was written differently.

In general, the text of the Torah carries a deep meaning,but it is very difficult to understand it. Many people believe that it has a lot of mystery and understatement. Many also consider the Torah as part of the Bible, its Old Testament. However, a large number of people reject the belonging of the Torah to the Bible. Yet the origin of the Torah and its writing remains a great mystery. The meaning of the Torah will, in time, most likely be understood. While it remains a mystery to us.
